While Donald Trump and RFK Jr. push conspiracy theories over science, my administration is forging a path that puts our people first.

Illinois will adopt the American Academy of Pediatrics' vaccine schedule to keep families safe.
Illinois adopts American Academy of Pediatrics vaccine schedule, shunning federal recommendations
Illinois’ adoption of the American Academy of Pediatrics’ childhood vaccine schedule is the latest example of Illinois breaking with the federal government over health care policies.

this is how I was hoping to spend my life; constantly on edge, mistrusting every messenger, tensely braced and skeptical to guard myself from ever guilelessly being moved by, or god forbid sharing, AI

Hannah Neeley's Bacteria Farm
This is bonkers. MAHA 'farmers' with ecoli tainted raw milk admit they really don't know how to make the stuff after all.

There’s a straight line, of course, between Frank Castle being retconned as a “patriot” in the 80s comics, to every right-wing douchebag having a Punisher skull on his truck/tee shirt/calf, and this psychotic shit

This is what I’m talking about when I say he’s the “if he wanted to he would” mayor
It's pretty amazing to me the amount of shit that apparently you can Just Do as an NYC mayor. It makes basically every other American politician look like an incompetent loser.

What do you mean there was just a button that reversed wage theft? Why wasn't and isn't everyone hitting it all the time??

some good news buried among the horrible behavior listed:

“The third woman said federal agents at her hotel are subsisting on microwavable bowls of Campbell’s chicken noodle soup, because it’s become so difficult for them to find restaurants willing to serve them.”
I visited hotels all over Minneapolis, went into back rooms & talked to the staff.

One told me she resents how her undocumented coworkers spend their days cleaning the rooms of agents who are “hunting down their family members.”

Artist Wilfredo Torres shared this drawing publicly in hopes of getting it to 5 year old Liam Ramos in a show of support, a very kind gesture. Now that Liam and his father are home in Minneapolis, I hope this reaches him and his family.
